    hello everyone


    just acquired an elite and I'm having problems getting the head set to work
    I tried two different ones no sound from either so I'm assuming something is not configured
    anyone help me please?
    its not vital at the moment as I'm not online with it yet but will be in a few weeks when my mate gets his elite

    Hi everyone
    I've been a bit busy just lately trying out various games and stuff.
    I'd just like to say hello to any new members and returnees and it is really nice to see the community civilwarfare has cooled off a lot.
    I became very concerned 'cos it nearly went nuclear at times , total wipeout , community shutting down , forum closed , its unthinkable really and I could do nothing to help :(
    so yeah thumbs up all round guys n gals for swallowing a bit o pride here and there and admitting to whatever ? And as for vetting returnees I have no say because I do not personally know any of them but my stance is this. If they genuinely want to return and cooperate and be a part of this community then let them come back , every one deserves a chance to show they can change. If they don't improve well ....DESTROY THEM :D


    I enjoy this forum far more than any other I belong to , its friendly , informative and at times I pee mesen laughing at some of the comments and you don't deride noobs like some forums I have visited , I'd like to see it continue for a looooong time :D

    revised my attitude
    now winters coming I have remembered something I really hate




    the way readybrek flakes volcanoe out of the bag every time I open it , my missus wets herself watching me trying to be as carefull as I can but still it gets all over the place :(

    I'm sorry guys I was under the impression this was a serious thread my fault for not reading it properly



    re?
    I'd take the job then find someone to do it for 400 mil, I'm not greedy


    what would you do if you went outside one clear and frosty night and there was no stars to be seen ?

    If anything at all I 'hate' my health problems
    I have something called HyperMobilitySyndrome HMS for short, it affects the collagen in my body i.e. muscles ligaments tendons at times resulting in extreme pain and depression.
    Now I'm not whingeing ok? There are people with the same illness who are really suffering with HMS and who are disabled and in absolute agony with it all the time, on a scale 1 - 10 I'd say I was a 3 some days are ok no probs but it just comes on anywhere anytime my wrist ankle shoulder knee anywhere sometimes just as I'm dropping off to sleep. The major problem it has given me is with my work , as an interiors artist I have painted many murals and decorated walls and ceilings with faux effects . I was good , very good and I loved my work . I felt very fortunate to be in the position of actually wanting to go to work every day never mind the money side,however my health deteriorated to the point where I could no longer work the way I had been, it became difficult to hold brushes and palette for any length of time...and painting sky ceilings were out of the question , so last year I reluctantly closed my business.This last 12months or so Ive applied myself to my pc, learning what I could to do with building and repairing it for myself,and trying the paint n photo editors I have acquired but its not the same as marbling a plaster column or painting a sunset in a bathroom.
    I miss it :(


    on the bright side I still have all my kit and found a couple of small canvas boards I didn't know I had the other day, now there are no time restraints I may just try a little therapeutic painting :)

    And an excellent match it was too!


    Congratulations to the team and supporters


    The standards and skills on show have been at least equal to some of the mens games I have seen this year , maybe in a few years we will see the first mixed gender matches.



    ps didja see our Lewis in the rain? Spectacular :))

    Biology
    couldn't get my head around valences but my Biology teacher was just out of uni and teachers training college , she was gorgeous and she was my first schoolboy crush :P


    fish or fowl

    I stand corrected
    There's so much going on I'm find it hard to keep track of existing and up and coming future games and various extensions mods or versions.
    I don't know how you do it sometimes but I am sure I am not alone in thanking all of you for the work you put in.
    I am slowly starting to understand the words Gaming Community
    but please no links nothing new for a while eh? I still have the Babylon project to have a look at yet [rolleyes]


    cheers :)

    Hello everyone I've been busy these last few weeks entertaining guests so I've not had time to post but I finished the storyline game a week ago.


    my impressions :


    The story is very weak , it could have been a comicbook script ,I expected more.


    The graphics are excellent , jaw dropping artwork at times.


    Gameplay is a short steep learning curve , I spent a good few hrs after the first mission setting up and learning the keyboard layout , then learning how to fly the ship , how I managed to kill those first pirates Ill never know.


    I set out to complete the story first so I only did a few side missions mostly satellite activations but they are a way to earn credits . I became a scavenger of wrecks and anomalies, made quite a tidy sum too.


    The game gets easier as you progress Doh!!! as long as you upgrade , building up your ship isn't easy but get the weapon upgrades as quick as you can , the rest don't matter so much but you need the punch towards the end of the game.


    Then I was done . Universe saved again . At which I was slightly disappointed , no climactic ending no titanic last gasp battle for survival , however a little bit open ended hmm... SFRU2 on the cards somewhere ?


    Time to go and play with the configs oh what fun I had , weps racked high , armour a mile thick , engines tweaked to the max , Cloak , Time device which btw are not necessary to the storyline so why have them ? The possibilities there are staggering. Besides they are power hungry and extremely difficult to find.


    As soon as my visitors had left I threw myself into several 10 hr sessions , there's a lot to explore , plenty of systems to visit , lots of pirates/aliens to fight with . Millions to be made trading well maybe not millions.
    I actually felt sorry for some of my opponents , all those mean mouthed bods who laughed at me as I ran away during the story.


    PAYBACK TIME



    In my humble opinion it is Freelancer with a new set of clothes , all in all a worthy neighbour to Freelancer on my games shelf but not a replacement.


    now lets see what the modders will do to it
    it's wide open for changes on a large scale


    :D
